    If I end up seeing people on the on ramps and shoulders tomorrow for this then I will be more then happy to join them. I am a company driver but if it actually going to make a difference or get noticed like we would all want then I would be more then happy to do it.

    The problem with that is you are causing hardship on the general public, and they are not the source of the problems.

    I agree if everyone pulled over for just 1 hour Washington would see that we can do something together. I think thats all it would take. But pulling over because of the price of fuel is worthless IMO. Pulling over because of over regulation (csa) and the strangle hold the EPA has on trucking thats I a fight I would be willing to join.

    Ok....After reading the whole thread....

    If this is done in Cali....My low-life Congressman Joe Baca, will open the floodgate at San Ysidro and the NAFTA drivers will be the only ones allowed to drive in Cali as far as he is concerned.....

    Ever hear of "collusion"?
    Because that's what this will amount to if it is carried out.....

    Hmmm... I saw no one pulled over today. Except for one flatbed with the hood up and roadservice in attendance.

    ...maybe his turbo was protesting! :biggrin_25512:

    If you are not a good enough businessman to adjust your rates to stay profitable, then you need to find another job.
    No I won't support any work slow down, stoppage, strike... or other organized bull.
